billsbackto81 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 2 minutes ago, Big Turk said: For a young athlete training hard with a likely great hormonal profile, it's not unrealistic to gain somewhere between 1-1.5 lbs of muscle a month. They have the best of everything. They can rest optimally between training sessions, take naps, get the best treatments, food, etc... For normal people that is likely capped around 0.5-1lb a month and even that is unlikely since it's near impossible to have a job, have a family and still be able to do things optimally. 17 lbs is completely not happening unless it's a lot of fat or from PEDs That is a very good point I didn't consider BT. These guys are young and have the best available in supplementation, nutrition, training methods and coaching at their disposal. No so for the older average Joe.

I think Davis has a monster year and breaks the Bills record for receiving Tds. He is the Copper Kupp of this offense. Kupps blocking ability is what makes him hard to defend.

Seems risky to me, but maybe they have a plan to add someone else. Shakir has potential to be an outside WR and McKenzie played outside his first year with Allen and was the leading receiver. They will be fine in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I have been a little concerned about even without the weight gain. Especially since he's the main guy now opposite of Diggs.

I thought Metcalf was around that size. I’m not saying Davis is Metcalf yet, but let’s hope this year. Serious question (that some may think of as stupid): Would you trade Gabe Davis for Metcalf straight up? I’m much higher on Gabe than most, it seems. (Same with Knox, and I hope we can keep both long term.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awwufelloff Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Adding weight isn’t necessarily good for a wide out. Speed is everything in the nfl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Count me in as a member of the "Davis is gonna be a stud" camp. The guy was already a good route runner, with strong hands and great footwork along the sidelines. If he's added a little burst and more physicality, he can be a legit no. 1 receiver in this league. Very excited to see what Josh will do this year with Diggs, improved versions of Gabe and Knox, and the addition of the smooth Cook out of the backfield. Our boy has some elite weapons to play with and that's not even counting Crowder, the explosiveness of McKenzie, and potential playmaking ability of Shakir.

It was just kind of a rhetorical question where I show Davis support. He is the guy I’d rather have on my team moving forward a few years. I can’t “support that” in any way (and I’m NOT doing any research), it’s just my gut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 17 lbs is way too much and will affect his speed. This is the problem with living in Buffalo. There's nothing to do other than eating lots of wings with ranch sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it depends what part of the body is getting most of the muscle mass. My educated guess is if all the leg muscles get enough attention then I think speed could definitely improve.

There has been this never ending argument we won’t have the $ to pay them all who comes due. I’m not sure I buy it as next year the capologists projects in the mid 220’s, but the year after the mid 250’s, and goes up from there. Id love a Knox deal early, but the three positions to tag as the tag is low is Safety, TE, and RB. WR is now ridiculous, but if Gabe has a breakout year, they can work out some deal if they see worth it. We need Knox though in personnel as it’s so dam difficult to find TE’s.
